Turn off a track

[smaksy]

Hi there!
Before of all: congratulation for the software, I've just downloaded and tried and It's very good! Very very good!
Just a question: how can I delete the track of the melody of one song? i.e. If there is a trumpet that songs like the voice have to do, how can I turn off that (if it's possible, I mean)?
Sorry for my bad english! I hope to have been clear!
Bye and thanks!
Max

You can't mute a track, except if it's a vocal track on a KaraFun KFN.

Hi there!

It would be very good function. In some midi files works melody disabling buit i don't how and what have to be implemented in file. Disabling track by track function could resolve problem. It works fine for me in Vanbasco's karaoke player. Other way you could tell how to edit midi file for example in GNMIDI v 2.44 and make melody track recognizable in Karafun.

Sorry for my english - i hope You understood what i mean.


Best regards

Hi again!

I found that there is no info in midi that identify melody track so first way to resolve this is adding function to disable track by track in Your player. I think that is the best way 'cause sometimes i have to disable even 3 other tracks to get best effect.

There are other ways:
- in most midi karaoke files melody track is 4'th track so You could add functionality to disable that track
- in most cases lyrics is written in track that is melody track
- or read this http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=19911735 (Novel algoritm for identification melody track in midi file)

I hope that will be helpfull

Best regards
